Fedora 18 woes: latex

linux-howto

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – I had been using fedora 14 for a long time as I disliked Gnome-3 intensely. On advice from the forum members, I have installed fedora 18 with xfce. xfce is tolerable, but all hell has broken due to fedora 18! To avoid mixing issues, I shall seek advice on one problem at a time. I have installed texlive, texlive-latex and texlive-beamer. However, the system refuses to process my tex files as various style files (like floatflt and IEEE) are missing and kpathsee complains about missing files for font generation. For example Quote: kpathsea: Running mktexmf phvr7t ! (HowTos)

Stories similar to Fedora 18 woes: latex

The problem is that I have vanilla TeXlive installed from the internet.

I installed LaTeX on my Kubuntu with those commands:

sudo apt-get install abntex sudo apt-get install texmaker sudo apt-get install texlive-latex-base texlive-latex-extra texlive-latex-recommended texlive-fonts-recommended texmaker

but I also need to use listings package for my assignment paper. Please, help, how to install listings package for LaTeX here?

Hi all,

I'm sure there is a simple solution to this, but my problem is as follows:

I have the TeXLive 2008 DVD, from which I have installed the LaTeX system in Kubuntu 9.04. It installed correctly apparently, and I've tried the commands suggested by the TeXLive installation guide to check if the TeX installation is working, and it is indeed.

texlive 2012 compilation 16 weeks 6 days ago

Hi all,

Has anybody compiled texlive 2012 on Fedora 18 recently ? I am getting following message when I do "yum install texlive" .

First I installed latex-beamer then I uninstalled that and tried texlive and got the same error. This error only comes into play when I try to build and view the pdf of a beamer-presentation or poster (not a latex document for a paper, which i got working). The error in the log/message is:

I am helping with the Ubuntu manual, which uses LaTex and TeXLive.

For this, I'd love to use Gummi, as it has a live preview of the output with almost-instant notification of syntax errors.

However:

Gummi does not recognise certain tags that are specific to Ubuntu, e.g.

Hello,

I have Fedora 14 installed on my laptop and am trying to get some algorithms in my L:atex code, I am trying to use the package algorithm or algorithmicx but always when I compllie i get this error

Code:

! LaTeX Error: File `algorithmicx.sty' not found I tried to search for the problem and came across an Ubuntu post which told to intall the texlive-science package.

Stage

I am using Ubuntu 12.04.

I want to install some TexLive packages, but they requires their own documentation packages.

For example:

texlive-latex-extra pulls texlive-latex-extra-doc. texlive-pictures pulls texlive-pictures-doc. etc.

Documentation packages are very very heavy, so avoid downloading them results in a faster installation.

Question

How can I install packages without docum
